I’m Dr. Setare Eslami.
You are worthy of compassion and healing, and I'm here to provide a safe space for your transformation.
I’m a board-certified psychiatrist with a focus on quality-of-life and reproductive psychiatry. My work is rooted in thoughtful, individualized care—whether you’re navigating anxiety, life transitions, or the emotional complexities of motherhood, menopause, or identity. I offer both medication management and collaborative support to help you feel more steady, clear, and connected in your life.
We specialize in…
-
At Sacred Cedar, we provide thoughtful psychiatric care for children, teens, and their families. We understand that growing up today comes with unique pressures—and that emotional or behavioral struggles are often signals of deeper needs, especially for neurodivergent kids and teens, including those with ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, or learning differences. Our approach combines careful evaluation, compassionate understanding, and, when appropriate, medication support to help young people find steadiness and connection in themselves and their relationships. We work closely with parents and caregivers, recognizing that healing happens within the whole family system.

At Sacred Cedar, we offer thoughtful psychiatric care for children, teens, and their families. Led by Dr. Setare Eslami—an experienced psychiatrist with a deep understanding of developmental and emotional challenges in young people—our approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and whole-person care. We recognize that growing up today can be overwhelming, especially for neurodivergent kids and teens, including those with ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, or learning differences. Whether your child is struggling with mood, focus, behavior, or big transitions, we provide careful evaluation, family-inclusive treatment, and, when appropriate, medication support to help them find balance and resilience.

At Sacred Cedar, we specialize in quality-of-life psychiatry—an approach that goes beyond symptom management to support your ability to navigate life with steadiness and a renewed sense of possibility. This means we don’t just focus on diagnoses or prescriptions; we take time to understand who you are, what matters to you, and how your mental health affects your day-to-day life.
-
At Sacred Cedar, we offer in-depth therapy for individuals and families navigating emotional pain, relationship challenges, or patterns that feel stuck. Dara Javid helps individuals and families work through patterns that feel stuck—whether it’s ongoing conflict, difficulty communicating, or the lasting effects of growing up in a complicated environment.
We recognize that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. That’s why we offer family therapy as a way to shift longstanding dynamics and strengthen communication. Whether working one-on-one or with loved ones, our approach is collaborative, culturally aware, and rooted in real change.

Coaching at Sacred Cedar is for individuals who want to make meaningful shifts in their personal or professional lives but aren’t sure how to get there. Whether you’re navigating a transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or striving for a greater sense of purpose, coaching offers a structured and collaborative space to move forward.
Unlike therapy, coaching is not focused on treating overwhelming emotional pain or mental health conditions.
Instead, it’s about helping you get unstuck, clarify your goals, and take meaningful steps forward in your life or work. We work with people exploring identity, relationships, work-life balance, and big decisions..
Coaching sessions are goal-oriented, present-focused, and tailored to your needs
We’ll take time to understand your story, so that your treatment supports not just symptom relief, but a fuller experience of life.
How it Works
01
Reach out
Send a message or schedule a consultation. We’ll talk briefly about what you’re looking for and whether this is the right fit.
02
Get to work
The first session is a 60-minute assessment designed to understand what’s happening in your life and what you’re struggling with. This allows for a full view of your needs and helps guide the most supportive path forward.
03
See change
As care continues, you may start to notice subtle but meaningful changes—more steadiness, more clarity, and a little more space to breathe. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled based on your needs, to make sure your treatment continues to support you.
